Rajesh R. Patel

Rajesh Ramalal Patel, from Kosmada, Gujurat India, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family and loved ones on January 18, 2023. He was born to the late Ramanlal Dahyabhai and Lilavatiben Patel in Livingstone, Zambia.

Rajesh enjoyed a beautiful life, one devoted to his faith, family, and friends. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend to so many that knew him. He was a hard-working entrepreneur who started his first business in Mufulira, Zambia. From there, his endeavors led him to Lusaka, Zambia and ultimately his travels led him to settle in Voorhees, New Jersey in search of a better quality of life and education for his children.

Rajesh is survived by his devoted wife Panna; his son Keyur and daughter Bhavisha; daughter-in-law, Yasmin; son-in-law, Ashish; and grandchildren, Arya, Talan, and Rohan. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends both near and far.
